feel like slowly more GSTL players are going to move to this region and it's basically going to become 30 koreans + 2 EU/NA/Sea players if they keep the rules in place | ||

Europeans can cry all they want about how much better they are than NA players (which they are), but if they had as many Koreans moving into their server if the ping was better, it would be of extreme detriment to their scene. America's not going to hold because the KR to legitimate AM player ratio in this qualifier is like 1:4 if that. It's ridiculous. | ||

Dw axiom/EG/TL are doing a good job to ensure that top American players are earning their share by flooding premier league with their Koreans. | ||

I don't blame them for a second. You have to play within the rules established by the people who set them. Doesn't mean that the people who set the rules did it properly. | ||

I still think they should enforce a "you have to live in a region to participate in it" like MMA did during WCS EU or polt is atm (With some exceptions such as Australians and China who don't get their WCS) | ||

Unsure about proleague. because if they make it to ro16, they'll have to ship the player out to live in the states temporarily. Can't see a proleague team expending tons of money for the accomodation of players like Bunny, Journey and Lalapalooza | ||

So clearly proleague teams are okay with it EDIT: Major also said he was talking to someone on a kespa team (dont remember who) and that these guys were the first of many B teamers who are going to try in the qualifiers. | ||

Who is Prime sending abroad? | ||
